Angel Investor: direct & part of the Epic Angel network
Jan 2022
Epic Angels is democratizing angel investing. We make angel investing accessible. We give women the confidence to invest, by learning about the investment process, and understanding how other women invest. Epic Angels is a network of female executives and operators who have built and expanded companies in all parts of the world. We are the largest female-only angel network in Asia Pacific and Latinoamerica. Research shows, investors tend to back those they perceive as similar to them. Instead of trying to convince male investors to invest in women, we need to focus on increasing the percentage of female investors. We need to close the financial gender gap. Our focus is early-stage startups in APAC and LATAM across all verticals. We invest in pre-seed, seed and series A rounds. Our ticket sizes range from 50K to 250K USD. We are strong advocates for female leadership, and invest in startups with at least one woman on the executive team. Most importantly, we invest in people. Founders who refuse to die and choose agility over ego.

Welcome to co:grow, where co-creation and growth mindset are the driving forces behind our work. We believe in the potential of people functions and reflective leadership as the catalyst to creating the future of work. Our mission: Decoding the People Function. We support our mission through four dimensions: 1. Fractional People Team: We remove daily friction with HR touchpoints, enabling you to focus on core operations and rapid growth by delivering agile foundational and strategic HR functions. 2. Coaching & Succession: We eliminate chaos, low morale, knowledge loss, and missed talent opportunities by facilitating thoughtful succession planning, leadership insights and coaching journeys. 3. Organizational consulting: We unblock obstacles to change and growth by providing expert HR consultancy on organizational design, talent strategies and change management to deliver actionable changes. 4. Social impact: We support the next generation of talents and people leaders through education advocacy, mentorship, scholarship, and ecosystem building. At co:grow, we are dedicated to partnering with our clients to embrace the imperfect but thrilling journey towards people-function transformation and the future of work. Our logo, intentionally designed with asymmetrical and imperfect edges, serves as a reminder of problem-solving through growth-minded experiments, which may not always be smooth but ultimately leads to sustainable organisational growth. Join us to co-create a brighter tomorrow and reimagine the possibilities of the future of work.
